CONSTITUTION  AND  BY-LAWS 


OF  THE 


Society  of  Colonial  Wars 


IN  THE 


State  of  New  York. 


CONSTITUTION. 


Preamble. 

Whereas,  there  have  never  been  just  and  proper  cel- 
ebrations commemorative  of  the  martial  events  of 
colonial  history  happening  from  the  settlement  of 
Jamestown,  Virginia,  May  13,  1607,  to  the  battle  of  . 
Lexington,  April  19,  1775: 

And  whereas,  our  brave  and  dauntless  forefathers 
crossed  an  unknown  ocean  to  establish  homes  on  the 
virgin  soil  of  a  new  continent,  where  all  men  could 
freely  worship  according  to  the  dictates  of  their  con- 
sciences and  secure  immunity  from  religious  perse- 
cution. And  thereafter  they  and  their  descendants 
periled  their  lives  and  jeopardized  their  families  and 
possessions  in  hostilities  with  the  savage  Indian  in 
the  founding  of  the  Colonies  of  America,  and  sprang 
when  needed  to  aid  their  mother  country  with  loyal 
patriotism,  when  in  warfare  with  another  nation. 
These  glorious  sires  produced  our  heroic  ancestors  of 
the  Revolution,  who  withstood  the  encroachments  of 
a  parent  country,  and  accomplished  the  independence 
of  the  United  States,  and  adopted  those  imperishable 
declarations  of  American  brotherhood  and  inalienable 
rights  which  are  to-day  the  pride  and  glory  of  the  un- 
trammeled  freemen  of  the  whole  world; 

Therefore,  the  Society  of  Colonial  Wars  has  been  in- 
stituted by  the  descendants  of  these  illustrious  fore- 
fathers, to  perpetuate  the  names,  memory  or  deeds  of 
those  brave  and  courageous  men,  who,  in  military, 
naval  or  civil  service,  by  their  acts  or  counsel  assisted 


47 


in  the  establishment  and  continuance  of  the  American 
Colonies;  to  collect  and  secure  for  preservation  the 
manuscripts,  rolls,  records  and  other  documents  re- 
lating to  that  period;  to  inspire  among  the  members 
and  their  descendants  the  fraternal  and  patriotic 
spirit  of  their  forefathers,  and  to  inculcate  in  the  com- 
munity respect  and  reverence  for  the  acts  and  princi- 
ples of  those  indomitable  men,  which  made  the  free- 
dom and  unity  of  our  country  a  possibility.

GENERAL  SOCIETY  OF  COLONIAL  WARS. 


The  General  Society  was  organized  May  9th  and 
10th,  1893,  in  the  Governor's  Room,  City  Hall.  New 
York,  by  delegates  from  New  York,  Pennsylvania, 
Maryland,  Massachusetts,  Connecticut  and  the  Dis- 
trict of  Columbia.  It  consists  of  the  Societies  now 
existing  and  such  other  State  Societies  as  may  from 
time  to  time  be  duly  organized  and  authorized  by  the 
General  Society.  A  constitution  was  adopted  on  May 
10,  1893,  subject  to  the  approval  of  a  majority  of  the 
delegates  present  at  an  adjourned  meeting  of  the  Gen- 
eral Assembly,  and  the  General  Officers  were  elected. 
An  adjourned  meeting  of  the  General  Assembly  was 
held  at  the  Hotel  Netherland  on  December  19th.  1893, 
and  the  Constitution  as  amended  unanimously  adopt- 
ed. The  General  Society  has  sole  power  of  act'on  in 
the  National,  as  distinct  from  the  State,  affairs  of  the 
organization.  It  has  jurisdiction  to  pass  upon  all 
questions  of  eligibility  referred  to  it  by  the  Registrar- 
General.  It  does  not  otherwise  interfere  in  the  regu- 
lations or  government  of  any  State  Society,  unless  by 
a  plurality  vote  of  the  General  Assembly,  when  the 
surrender  of  the  charter  of  a  State  Society  may  be 
demanded,  should  an  investigation  show  that  such  ac- 
tion is  necessary  for  the  welfare  of  the  Societies  at 
large.  It  has  power  to  grant  charters  in  States  other 
than  those  in  which  the  Society  is  already  organized. 
It  issues  the  insignia  and  the  diplomas  of  member- 
ship, and  publishes  the  Annual  Register  with  the  co- 
operation of  the  several  State  Societies,  the  cost  be- 

68 


ing  defrayed  by  the  latter  in  proportion  to  their  mem- 
bership. 

The  General  Council  is  composed  of  all  the  General 
Officers,  and  exercises  the  powers  of  the  General  So- 
ciety (except  those  of  demanding  State  Charters  and 
of  amending  the  Constitution)  between  meetings  of 
the  General  Assembly,  to  which  latter  body  it  regu- 
larly reports  all  its  transactions.  The  General  Coun- 
cil meets  semi-annually  in  the  months  of  November 
and  May,  on  such  days  as  may  be  fixed  by  the  Gover- 
nor-General, or,  in  the  case  of  his  inability,  by  the 
Secretary-General. 


General  Assemblies. 

The  regular  meetings  of  the  General  Society  are 
termed  "General  Assemblies"  and  are  held  once  every 
three  years,  at  such  time  and  place  as  the  preceding 
General  Assembly  appoints. 

The  First  General  Assembly  was  held  in  the  Gover- 
nor's Room,  City  Hall,  New  York,  May  9th  and  10th, 
1893.  The  Second  General  Assembly  was  held  in  Car- 
penters' Hall,  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  May  7th  and  8th, 
1896. 

The  Third  General  Assembly  will  be  held  in  Balti- 
more, Md.,  May  9th,  1899.

Eligibility. 

But  two  of  the  twenty-six  State  Societies  already 
chartered  and  organized  now  accept  the  General  Rules 
in  the  entirety,  and  whatever  other  restrictions  have 
been  adopted,  it  will  be  seen  that  those  of  non-admis- 
sion of  collaterals  and  non-acceptance  of  legislative 
service.  ura:companied  by  military  records,  one  or 
both,  dominate  the  others  in  number.  In  the  interest 
of  uniformity  it  is  hoped  that  the  Committee  on  Con- 
stitutional Revision,  which  is  to  present  its  report  at 
the  next  General  Assembly,  will  follow  the  trend  of 
thought  which  has  given  rise  to  these  changes,  and 
include  among  its  recommendations  the  discontinu- 
ance thereafter  of  admission  under  these  two  heads 
without  disturbing  memberships  already  accorded. 

The  General  Assembly  at  its  session,  May,  1896, 
voted  unanimously  against  the  election  of  honorary 
members  and  decreed  that  all  such  memberships 
should  be  discontinued  at  once. 

Descent  from  officer  of  member  of  a  train-band  is  a 
valid  claim  only  on  proof  of  service. 

An  application  for  admission  to  membership  by  a 
non-resident  is  considered  only,  except  in  the  case  of 
officers  of  the  United  States  Army  and  Navy,  (a) 
when  from  sections  where  no  Society  exists,  or  (b) 
when  accompanied  with  indorsements  from  members, 
together  with  a  duly  authenticated  waiver  of  juris- 
diction from  the  Society  in  the  State  of  which  the  ap- 
plicant is  a  resident. 

Precedent,  in  refusal  to  grant  a  waiver  of  jurisdic- 
tion, establishes  the  principle  that  specific  reasons  for 
such  refusal  are  neither  to  be  expected  nor  required, 
and  should  not  be  given.
